'''Frogner Manor''' (''Frogner Hovedgård'') is a manor house and former [[Estate (land)|estate]] in today's borough of [[Frogner]] in [[Oslo]], [[Norway]]. The estate comprised most of the modern borough of Frogner, which has been named after the estate, and [[Frognerseteren]] with parts of the [[Nordmarka]] forest (Frognerseterskogen). The remaining part of the estate is now the site of the [[Frogner Park]], with the manor house found in the south of the park and the [[Frogner Park#Vigeland installation .E2.80.93 the sculptures in Frogner Park|Vigeland installation]] in the park's centre. The 18th century buildings on the grounds now house the [[Oslo City Museum]].

Frogner was one of the largest and oldest agricultural properties in the Oslo area. In the Middle Ages, Frogner became ecclesiastical property, mostly owned by the [[Hovedøya Abbey]], but was confiscated by the Crown in 1532, preceding the [[Reformation in Denmark–Norway and Holstein|Reformation]]. From the mid 17th century to the late 19th century it was owned by wealthy officials or burghers of [[Oslo|Christiania]], then sold to the municipality of [[Oslo|Kristiania]] in 1896 to make room for urban expansion and a new cemetery ([[Vestre gravlund]]). Significant parts of the estate instead became a [[public park]].
